"A Foreigner as Governor..."

(Trivia; Governor Abercrombie was born and raised in a suburb of Buffalo N.Y, something I should be proud of because I was also raised in a suburb of Buffalo , N.Y.)

Hawaii's newly elected Governor is off to a delusional rein as Governor.

First he created a special election costing the state 670,000, which could had been avoided by quitting his congressional responsibilities a few months later.

Neil is now calling for major cuts for the poor through medicare and medicaid cuts and wants to initiate a soda pop tax. On top of all this he has negotiated for our incarcerated out of state prisoners to come back to Hawaii and finish their terms of sentence, which costs almost two times as much money as housing them on the mainland. The reason Gov Lingle sent them to the mainland was to save the state money, now Neil is looking for ways to balance the budget when the simplest start would had been to keep the prisoners were there at. Why treat the prisoners so special when the general population is in duress?

The Governor was in Washington many years as a congressman representing Hawaii, however right now with less than a month as Governor he is  acting as a foreigner and breaking  his campaign promise of no new taxes.
